Numerical model simulating coastal morphodyamics and evolution
CEM2D is a reduced complexity coastal evolution model, capable of simulating fundamental cause-effect relationships in coastal systems and exploring the influence that sea level rise could have on sediment transport and the formation and evolution of morphological features and landforms over meso-scales.
The model has been built from a 1D parents model - CEM - that was originally developed by Ashton et al. (2001), Ashton and Murray (2006) and Valvo et al. (2006).
Modified version of the Coastline Evolution Model (CEM)
The Coastline Evolution Model (CEM), originally developed by Ashton et al. (2001), Ashton and Murray (2006) and Valvo et al. (2006), is a reduced complexity, one-line sediment transport model that simulates the evolution of coastlines via wave-driven alongshore sediment transport.
The original CEM has no Graphical User Interface (GUI) and does not provide graphical visualisations during model runs.
